Amy Winehouse is now part of a noble group of musicians to surpass a billion views on YouTube.
The late singer’s music video for her 2007 hit song “Back to Black” has reached 1 billion views on the platform, 16 years after its release.
The black-and-white video — directed by Phil Griffin — sees Winehouse mourning a failed romance, to which she joins a funeral procession and attends the burial, where a gravestone reads, “R.I.P. the Heart of Amy Winehouse.” However, the gravestone imagery was removed from the music video after the musician died at age 27 from alcohol poisoning.

Winehouse wrote the song with Mark Ronson — the music producer who created one of the biggest albums of the year for the “Barbie” movie. The lyrics were inspired by her troubled relationship with ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, though they find her missing the relationship.
“We only said goodbye with words / I died a hundred times / You go back to her / And I go back to black,” Winehouse sings.
The Grammy-winning singer married Fielder-Civil in 2007, two years after he briefly left her for an ex-girlfriend before the pair reconciled. They later divorced in 2009.

Upon “Back to Black”‘s release, it peaked at no. 25 on the U.K. Singles Chart and, following Winehouse’s death, it reached no. 8. The track has gone on to become one of her biggest hits and has since been covered by many artists, including one performed by Beyoncé and André 3000 for 2013’s “The Great Gatsby”.

The video features Sivan performing a lap dance for actor Ross Lynch, who is already well-known for his roles in series like the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, not to mention his considerable online following who thirsts after him on the regular.The visual is undeniably provocative, regardless of the gender or sexual identity of those involved, and thus it fits perfectly with this era of Sivan’s career.“One of Your Girls” goes deep into the sexual experiences that Sivan had with men who have yet to fully embrace their sexual identity, or who simply are straight but love a little man action on the side.Sivan shared his thoughts on these moments with People, noting that some of those men “would’ve bullied me in high school, and now here they are paying me attention.”He further opened up about past entanglements with these men, stating that “at the sacrifice of my own self-worth, I’m throwing myself at them.”He added that once he did so, “then you’re really just at their beck and call, and that can sometimes not feel so great.”With his new single, Sivan provides a thought-provoking perspective on the complex topic of hooking up with men who identify as straight, challenging the notion that such encounters are purely titillating.While there can indeed be an allure, there is a downside to these experiences, and Sivan isn’t afraid to candidly share his feelings and insights on these encounters, a viewpoint that is not often discussed openly.“One of Your Girls” is the latest focal point from Sivan’s highly-anticipated album, Something To Give Each Other.The full-length release coincided with the music video debut and represents one of the most eagerly awaited pop music releases of 2023.To provide a taste of the set, Sivan
